Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date
4/5	87%	X-Men: First Class (2011)	" Any film that sees Professor X downing a yard of ale before chatting up girls down the pub has classic written all over it." — Sky Movies Posted Jun 1, 2011
3/5	64%	Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (2011)	" Gives an eye-opening account of the creepy mania that surrounds the star, while inadvertently hinting at the dependency of those around Bieber on their fresh-faced cash cow." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 16, 2011
4/5	98%	Inside Job (2010)	" A straightforward and very shocking account of the meltdown that's guaranteed to give you a healthy jolt of righteous rage." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 16, 2011
5/5	50%	Tron Legacy (2010)	" Fittingly, Legacy is not overwhelmed by its own technical brilliance, the human heart that beats beneath its polished chrome veneer being felt even over Daft Punk's evocative score." — Sky Movies Posted Dec 15, 2010
4/5	73%	Megamind (2010)	" Gleefully subverting the standard good vs evil hokum, while delivering an eye-popping adventure with characters you can really root for, Megamind is simply super." — Sky Movies Posted Dec 2, 2010
5/5	93%	The Kids Are All Right (2010)	" Smart, funny, slyly satirical and wonderfully warm, this deft 'dramedy' is bitter-sweet film-making at its best." — Sky Movies Posted Oct 28, 2010
2/5	34%	Burke and Hare (2011)	" Wildly oscillating between wacky slapstick and downright unpleasantness -- the sight of the killers slowly suffocating an elderly lady is just too much -- Burke and Hare is sometimes very difficult to like." — Sky Movies Posted Oct 28, 2010
2/5	9%	Bonded By Blood (2011)	" There's no hiding the fact that Bonded By Blood is ultimately pretty anaemic, giving no further insight into an already over-exposed incident." — Sky Movies Posted Sep 1, 2010
4/5	75%	Dog Pound (2010)	" Tough, confrontational and thought-provoking cinema that, like its protagonists, deserves to get a fair chance on its release." — Sky Movies Posted Aug 26, 2010
1/5	10%	Grown Ups (2010)	" Any film that causes you to reappraise the awfulness of Couples Retreat has to be pretty bad." — Sky Movies Posted Aug 26, 2010
3/5	63%	When You're Strange (2010)	" Occasionally stirring yet strangely inessential, if you're not already a Doors fan, DiCello's film may fail to light your fire. " — Sky Movies Posted Jun 30, 2010
3/5	58%	Shrek Forever After (Shrek 4) (2010)	" Much better than its predecessor, but not a patch on the original, Shrek Forever After would be a respectable point for the irritable ogre's tale to come to an end." — Sky Movies Posted Jun 30, 2010
4/5	87%	Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009)	" Despite ... minor gripes, this is Cage's best film in years, an anarchic gumbo of subverted cop thriller clich�s and surreal set-pieces that's destined to become a cult classic." — Sky Movies Posted May 20, 2010
4/5	70%	Ondine (2010)	" Driven by Farrell's easy, unaffected performance and his obvious chemistry with the less polished yet suitably winsome Bachdela, this fanciful meld of drama and romance is a consummate cockle-warmer." — Sky Movies Posted Mar 5, 2010
2/5	17%	Blind Revenge (2012)	" Watching this two-hander feels very much like sitting through a play and although it's a well-acted one, A Closed Book's amateur charms may be lost on moviegoers expecting a lot more flash for their cash." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 19, 2010
4/5	94%	The Unloved (2009)	" Realised with impeccable craftsmanship, Samantha Morton's directorial debut never puts a foot wrong dramatically, although its unflinching stare at a young life stymied by neglect offers little in the way of comfort." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 19, 2010
3/5	70%	The Last Station (2010)	" The main attraction is the tortured dynamic in Tolstoy's marriage, and it's played out with a vibrant pathos that's equally funny and sad, making The Last Station an endearing, if not essential, destination." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 19, 2010
4/5	91%	Crazy Heart (2009)	" It's a shame then that the all-too-familiar story is never as engaging as the two leads, but with performances this strong, Crazy Heart still brings the house down." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 19, 2010
4/5	61%	Brothers (2009)	" The fine interplay between the three leads builds to a gripping, emotionally devastating finale that offers no easy answers while still arriving at a poignant and satisfying conclusion." — Sky Movies Posted Jan 22, 2010
5/5	91%	Up in the Air (2009)	" Funny, thought-provoking, uplifting and tragic, Up In The Air is a first class comedy that's not afraid to travel to some difficult destinations." — Sky Movies Posted Jan 15, 2010
4/5	52%	The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)	" A disappointingly generic finale gives way to an ingenious final gag, however, with the gleefully anarchic spirit that drives the film leaving a much bigger impression than the patchy story." — Sky Movies Posted Nov 6, 2009
3/5	43%	Jennifer's Body (2009)	" Likely to strike a chord with the turbulent teens Cody captures so well, this vividly lurid tale has cult movie written all over it and may well enjoy a healthy afterlife if it stiffs at the cinema." — Sky Movies Posted Nov 6, 2009
2/5	10%	Dead Man Running (2009)	" Neither a total shambles or a triumph, it should appeal to fans of the cockney crime genre. Anyone else may find it a right pain in the Khyber." — Sky Movies Posted Oct 30, 2009
3/5	48%	Ong Bak 2 (2009)	" Some of the most exhilarating martial arts action to hit screens in recent years. Ong Bak: The Beginning may be little more than a showcase for Jaa's abilities." — Sky Movies Posted Oct 16, 2009
2/5	12%	Couples Retreat (2009)	" About as much fun as having a holiday ruined by bickering, self-involved couples, this is one romcom you really should retreat from." — Sky Movies Posted Oct 16, 2009
2/5	29%	Mad, Sad & Bad ()	" A flat, glum, uninspired first feature that would struggle to find an audience on Sunday night television, never mind at cinemas." — Sky Movies Posted Jul 31, 2009
3/5	21%	G-Force (2009)	" G-Force excels visually, with the cuddly critters being particularly impressive and the action sequences colourful, vibrant and effectively assembled." — Sky Movies Posted Jul 31, 2009
3/5	16%	Crossing Over (2009)	" Although it has moments of poignancy, his sledgehammer approach is sometimes off-putting and risible." — Sky Movies Posted Jul 31, 2009
2/5	25%	Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience (2009)	" This may be three dimensional poison for Jonas-hating curmudgeons but it's unlikely that any of the band's fans will be asking for their money back." — Sky Movies Posted May 29, 2009
3/5	68%	Fugitive Pieces (2008)	" An intermittently powerful, if not entirely successful, piece." — Sky Movies Posted May 29, 2009
2/5	70%	La Habitaci�n de Fermat (Fermat's Room) (2009)	" The possibility of being squished to a pulp always focuses the mind, although, as this by-the-numbers Spanish thriller proves, it doesn't necessarily make arithmetic any more interesting." — Sky Movies Posted May 29, 2009
2/5	40%	Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel (2009)	" A good effort, but ultimately one that may have been more suited to a TV special than a fully-fledged feature, FAQ... is like that geeky friend you really want to like - if only they'd sort out their BO problem and stop talking about Deep Space Nine." — Sky Movies Posted Apr 25, 2009
2/5	31%	The Uninvited (2009)	" There should be enough to keep the teen audience the film is clearly targeted at on their toes, although aficionados of the genre will no doubt be bored to death." — Sky Movies Posted Apr 24, 2009
3/5	83%	I Love You, Man (2009)	" I Love You, Man may not be original but it's a good-natured dollop of forgettable fun." — Sky Movies Posted Apr 17, 2009
3/5	34%	Good (2008)	" Ultimately Good, like its central figure, seems to lack the courage of its convictions." — Sky Movies Posted Apr 17, 2009
1/5	14%	Dragonball Evolution (2009)	" Dragonball: Evolution is so lazy and cheap in every aspect of its execution that the end result is almost unwatchable." — Sky Movies Posted Apr 9, 2009
4/5	70%	Religulous (2008)	" A refreshingly courageous and long overdue lecture that is equally enlightening, entertaining and provocative." — Sky Movies Posted Apr 3, 2009
5/5	85%	Tyson (2009)	" Mixed with clips and photos from his tumultuous career but no contributions from peers or 'experts', this is a genuinely incisive portrait of a fighter at war with himself." — Sky Movies Posted Mar 28, 2009
2/5	82%	Two Lovers (2008)	" A noble effort scuppered by an affected, ill-fitting central performance and the director's penchant for ponderous, transparent plotting, this offers a refreshingly unconventional take on the standard Hollywood romance but very little else." — Sky Movies Posted Mar 28, 2009
3/5	79%	Genova ()	" With a stronger third act and less spiritual flounce this could have been something really special, but as it stands its merely a solid entry in the versatile writer/director's CV that will no doubt be eclipsed by whatever he chooses to do next." — Sky Movies Posted Mar 28, 2009
1/5	22%	Push (2009)	" If the words "A bit like Jumper but not as good" strike fear into your heart then you might want to avoid this turgid superpower stinker." — Sky Movies Posted Feb 19, 2009
